Assessment of an L-Kurtosis-Based Criterionfor Quantile Estimation
2001
Journal of hydrologic engineering
The estimation of extreme quantiles corresponding to small probabilities of exceedance is commonly required in the risk analysis of flood protection structures. The usefulness of L-moments has been well recognized in the statistical analysis of data, because they can be estimated with less uncertainty than that associated with traditional moment estimates. The objective of the paper is to assess the effectiveness of Lkurtosis in the method of L-moments for distribution fitting and quantile
